#4836: literate markdown not handled correctly by unlit ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #7120 ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by dominic): I have probably misunderstood but I don't think this solves the problem. I have cherry-picked your commits. For the code example above {{{ ### Ok so lets try this again. ### A page that loads and compiles:

myfact 0 = 1 myfact n = n * n-1

Lets see if it works! }}} saved as a .lhs file I get {{{ ~/ghc $ ./inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 TheLitTest.lhs TheLitTest.lhs:1:2: lexical error at character '#' }}} Saving it as a .md file mutatis mutandis {{{ ### Ok so lets try this again. ### A page that loads and compiles: ``` module Main ( main ) where myfact 0 = 1 myfact n = n * n-1 main = undefined ``` Lets see if it works! }}} it compiles successfully but then other tools e.g. BlogLiterately don't work. They rely on the bird tracks. So I think this may solve a problem but it doesn't solve this problem. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4836#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
